Church Synod Backs Gay Civil Rights In Vote
The United Church of Christ general assembly voted to continue support for gay civil rights and to urge enactment of civil rights laws at federal state and local levels. Delegates heard the resolve condemning scriptural attacks on homosexuality while not ruling on whether homosexual conduct is acceptable or sins. The vote followed a study on human sexuality and discussions of decriminalizing private acts between consenting adults.
